SUMMARY:Lecture – Uncovering the Stories of the Aliso Adobe: Archaeology\
 , Archives\, and a Forgotten Community
LOCATION:San Diego Archaeological Center\, 16666 San Pasqual Valley Road\
 , Escondido\, Escondido CA
DESCRIPTION:From 2023 to 2025\, the Palomar College archaeology excavatio
 n class uncovered a long-forgotten nineteenth-century adobe in San Diego 
 County’s Elfin Forest/Harmony Grove area. These excavations provide the f
 irst comprehensive archaeological documentation of this historic adobe\, 
 revealing new insights into its residence\, the community\, and its place
  in the region’s past.\nConducted in cooperation with property owner Greg
  White and regional historian Alexa Clausen\, the project investigated th
 e adobe’s architecture\, history\, and changing use. Across four field se
 asons and 47 excavation units\, students and researchers documented disti
 nctive stone foundations\, interior walls\, a collapsed brick chimney\, a
 nd other architectural features that offer new insights into historic bui
 lding practices and domestic life.\nDrawing on archaeological evidence\, 
 archival research\, and comparisons with the nearby Robert Israel Adobe\,
  this presentation explores the intertwined Californio and Anglo-American
  histories of the Aliso District. Despite extensive disturbance from eros
 ion\, salvage\, recreational use\, and other post-abandonment processes\,
  the excavations revealed important details about the adobe’s constructio
 n and history\, contributing to a deeper understanding of San Diego Count
 y’s historic adobe architecture and regional past.\nCost: $15\; SDAC Memb
